Thor Heyerdahl: the Story of a Great Adventurer
Was it pure chance that all the great civilizations around the Indian Ocean blossomed at roughly the same time, or was there some link connecting them, perhaps even a common source?
To cast some light on the mystery, Thor Heyerdahl decided to build the largest and most sophisticated reed ship the world had seen for thousands of years. The time was 1977. The place - the banks of the Tigris river. Narrated by Christopher Railing.

Ratcatchers
Most of us shudder when we see a rat. Nearly all of us call for help. Ratcatchers are the men who come to answer our calls and soothe us.
Those calls increased by 20 per cent last year.
City rats live in our sewers. Here they multiply in a nice warm environment and we throw away an ever increasing amount of waste which sustains them and their young. From time to time they break out of the sewers bringing disease and destroying property. Some even appear in our toilet bowls.
Inside Story follows
Hackney's 'ratcatchers' as they cheerfully seek the little animals we all hate. Producers Charles Stewart and Malcolm Hirst
